List<T>

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

I'm reading in a book and it says the following.
"The List<Tclass you used to generate a collection of Product objects has
this attribute [Serializable] -otherwise applying it to Product wouldn't
have helped to make the collection serializable."

Now to my question how can I see that List<Thas this attribute
Serializable.

Hi Tony,
Look at List<Tusing Reflector, you can see the Serializable
attribute there:

[Serializable,
DebuggerTypeProxy(typeof(Mscorlib_CollectionDebugV iew<>)),
DebuggerDisplay("Count = {Count}")]
public class List<T: IList<T>, ICollection<T>, IEnumerable<T>,
IList, ICollection, IEnumerable

If you're not familiar with Reflector, I strongly recommend that you
take a look; it's a very handy tool:

Hope that helps,
John

The documentation says so.
